Lyrics People (Live 2016) - Barbra Streisand

So a few years ago, I hosted a fundraiser at my home
Thank you, um to raise aweness about women's heart disease
And President Clinton was there and he spoke
And I'd like to share something interesting that he told us about our human DNA
The study showed that, no matter what the colour of your skin is
Or where you were born; Cuba, China, Malasia, Madacasca
Our genetic makeup is 99.9% identical
To every person on the face of the earth
We are so alike, every one of us
So it's simply a fact that we are all really just

People
People who need people (look at all of you)
Are the luckiest people in the world
You know we're children
Just needing other children
And yet letting our grown-up pride
Hide all the need inside
Acting more like children
Than children

Lovers are very special people
They're the luckiest people
In the world
With one person
One very special person
A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
First be a person
Who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people
In the world

A feeling deep in your soul
Says you were half now you're whole
No more hunger and thirst
First be a person who needs people
People who need people
Are the luckiest people
In the world

Thank you so much
Aww so sweet
Gosh thank you
Thank you so much, it was really lovely
